In this study, it was aimed to experiment a new method to increase the quality of the history of mathematics course instruction in the primary mathematics education. The method composed by synthesizing project-based and collaborative learning methods was named "Newspaper Preparation Method," and the course was delivered using this…

Mathematics as a discipline requires abstract operations under many sub-learning areas is considered hard by students to learn. In this respect, it has become indispensable to make mathematics teaching processes fun and to structure teaching procedures by using different teaching methods, techniques or materials. In this context, the purpose of…

This book uncovers the important issues in language learning and teaching in the intelligent, digital era. "Social connectivity" is a contemporary style of learning and living. By engaging in the connectivity of physical and digital worlds, how essential parts of language learning and teaching can be achieved? How can the advanced…

This paper reports the results of research conducted in six classes (Form IV) with 205 students with a sample of 94 respondents. Data represent students' statements that describe (a) the role of Mathematics teachers in a computer-assisted instruction (CAI) environment and (b) effectiveness of CAI in Mathematics instruction. The results indicated…

Designed to develop procedures and acquire information to help decision-makers establish policies for the use of microcomputers for computer-assisted instruction (CAI), this study involved the following steps: (1) a school-based research project was conducted to determine the costs and effects of microcomputer-assisted instruction; (2) an…

A six-year case study was conducted on the impact of, and teachers' role in, the use of computers and the Mathcad program in mathematics instruction at a technical college. Results for 2 teachers and 51 of their students showed definite stages in the teachers' use of the computer technology. (SLD)

This paper reports on research related to computer programing in the secondary school mathematics curriculum. The first section gives the background and nature of the problem, explains the organization and limitations of the study, and defines the terms used. The second section presents an annotated bibliography, organized into four parts. The…

In a development and research project over a period of three years, with classes 8 to 10 in school, the aim was to develop students' competence to use computer tools. The aim was that the students should be able to judge what ICT tools are appropriate to use for a specific task. Seven classes with six teachers took part in the project. In a…

This report presents the results of a survey conducted among all primary and secondary schools in Leicestershire (England) in 1985 to examine the role of microcomputers in schools, and the extent to which their introduction had led to a shift in teaching emphasis toward providing more skill-based curricula (i.e., study skills for life) rather than…

This digest briefly reviews some of the current findings from research on microcomputers which seem most pertinent to teachers in elementary and secondary schools. Summaries are presented of findings related to: (1) status surveys; (2) computer literacy and mathematics instruction; (3) effects of teaching computer programing; (4) tutorial computer…
